Aww., You are too sweet and a brilliant writer.
I'm glad that my votes counted and got you into the top ten list.

And I'm super glad that I didn't won anything 😆
I mean... I had never taken this OS contest' seriously. It was my two pharands who forced me to take part.

And I had wrote that OS in just 30minutes. You can very well imagine, how disastrous it turned out. (if you have not read it)

Hugs for the reply and best wishes.

Its in the voting thread. Page 2. Happy journey 😆

well come on.
That wasn't a disaster by any means. I had loved the story very much.
It was really well portrayed and well written.
The way you had handled the entire thing was not only a treat to read but quite exciting too.
There were places I had chuckled saying 'they can never change'.
I was sure to vote for this one but call me turtle paced I couldn't read all the OSs in time.
Just read 20 of them.

And talking about the writing, you'll call me fickle-minded. Earlier I had decided to write Comedy and Tragedy Genre as I was really excited to write my first OS.
And the I wasted my days in thinking and thinking.
A day before last date of submission I PMed Manji and told her that I am taking Romance. 😆
And then I wrote this piece overnight and submitted.

Yours was much better than mine.
You too are an awsome writer. 😊

Wining an award or not wining an award can hardly change that fact. 😉

Cheers..!

Anytime dear.. 😃

Big, hearty congratulations to all the winning writers... also the top ten entries. It's really good to see so many awards being given and I am glad that my favourite few made it into the top ten. 🥳

I know I am extremely late in wishing but I just went through a major brain surgery and am finally back home now. Even while interacting with Manjiri regarding scores, I was in the hospital and I did not want to comment on this thread from my phone. I have a lot to say and too many people to thank.

Thank you judges, for investing so much time and effort in reading and judging so many stories. Thank you Lazyleaves, for your very sweet comment on my OS and I am glad that you enjoyed and loved it. And thank you Manjiri for taking the initiative to organize this OS Contest. 👏

When I saw the score sheet, I was overwhelmed by the number of readers who actually loved Love is... I want to thank each and everyone for voting and your appreciation for the story means the most to me. 🤗
cinthiann1758, -Mrinalini-, Chandu2000, pinkly, sona257, Kinu22, shvbc, Samyxx, dj_arshifan, Tapdance, drunkiiebabe, DurgaS, ssyahoo, chitrajay, vandana.sagar, sahanaipkknd, _disha_, Nandz, MeenuArshiCrazy, ...Gunjan...

There were many others who have mentioned and praised Love is... in their favourites... So a big Thank you to all of them as well. 🤗

Now when I started reading comments on this thread I realized, that so many people wanted Love is... to be amongst the winners... And guys really it is so humbling to see that you have been putting your views upfront. I had not known the power that a story had, to be able to connect to so many hearts. Thank you for all those beautiful comments. I feel like a winner despite not winning anything. ❤️

@Pearl_Oyster - Thank you so much for your sweet comment for Love is... and that you hoped it to win something... I am glad you enjoyed the OS so much. Congratulation to you for making it into the Top Ten!!! ⭐️

@Sami - Our admiration is mutual. Thank you for such a lovely comment on Love is... I absolutely loved and laughed at The Language of Love... especially in those stressful times for me... Thank you for writing such a brilliant piece Sami... and I am even gladder as it turned out to be yours. Congratulations on making it into the top ten rightfully. ⭐️

@vandana.sagar - Thank you for thinking that Love is... deserved to be in the winning list and thank you so much for the vote, Vandana. 😃

@DurgaS - Thank you for making your disappointment so vocal about Love is... not making it to the winners list... But its okay... yours did and a big wala congratulation to you for making it. Btw I loved Always Together'... it was a beautiful story!! ⭐️

@chitrajay - Wow... your comment made me feel like a star!! Thank you so much for all the kind words on Love is... I am so happy that you enjoyed the story so much. 😃

@Preet.Kc - I did not know you on IF so far... but I don't think I can forget you ever. Your comments and opinions for Love is... have seriously overwhelmed me. Thank you so much for thinking that it deserved to win and the banner that you have made for it is perfect. I will be posting the OS on the forum tomrw... and will definitely use the banner. I frankly felt hurt about the low scores but as I was fighting a bigger battle in my AD, I just let things go. Thank you for voicing your opinion frontally for a story that I did not realize had won so many hearts. 🤗

@Rasgulla_sp - OMG! I did not know news travels so fast and someone recommended Love is... to you. Thank you for such a sweet comment on it and your argument over the grammar really cracked me up!!

@Nandz - Thank you for wanting Love is... to be in the top ten... With so many readers votes I really feel like a winner. 😃

Finally I would really like to thank everyone who has liked Love is..., voted for it, wanted it to win, fought for it and is still wishing for some response from the TM. But seriously, I already feel like a winner, as a story that I wrote during one of the toughest phases of my life has been able to touch so many hearts. Because...

Kiran,
You are lovely and thanks for making me feel better about my writing.

I had a hard time editing the same to fit into the 3000words limit. But I'll soon be posting the original version and will let you know :)

Better than yours? I disagree 😳

I was about to select comedy then changed my mind. Hehehe..

Hugs for the encouragement and happy to have met you here.

So thanks again.

I would also thank all other readers who went through all the entries, read, liked or voted for my entry 21.

I know what I wrote wasn't good enough and yet I managed to reach top TEN, all because of the lovely people who appreciated my work.

A big hug to all of you. 🤗

Hi everyone:)

I know I am so late but congrats to the winners🥳
Well done:)




Now coming to the other point which I thinks needs to be clear right now so we all can move on from the OS contest...

As I understand and plzz do tell me if I am wrong but some readers and writers thinks or wonders why the readers vote was not counted?

I want to say that I think when the contest was started it was already was written that the readers vote was just a bouns and that is all...

But however one thing which I really dont understand tell the readers to vote and have a deadline? Because I had follow the thread and many readers had taken their time to time and to vote which for them was unfair if later to know that their votes was not even counted from the start...

Now the entry which got lots of votes from the readers but here it was not even mention or in the top ten...that is little strange because at least it should get a mention or be on top ten...I have not read the OS but I feel if it got so many vote from the readers they should have had a special mention if not winning...

I feel this is something which needs to be clear from the person who has taken the responsibility to start the OS contest and clear this mess so we all can understand why she did what she did and how she thought back then???

But the person right now is not even answering back her pms, I really dont know why because I only had pm her to send me the score so I could know what my OS got from the judges and that too I had to find myself that she already posted in this thread, this is really strange...

About a judge who score little strange as some have told...again the person should clear what she/he thought so we all can move on...


About the banner, that problem has already been clear to no need to bring up and thank you for the writer who had clear...

So plzz clear this mess so we all can move on...

thank you

Meeting you here is a pleasure to me too.. 😊

I'd be looking forward to your OS. Please do drop me a PM or scrap when you post it.

I'd be more than happy to read it again and put forward a worthy enough comment. 😊

P.S. Just had a proper look at your siggy and it really cracked me up.

A little more modulation and you could'hv submitted your siggy for the genre comedy OS. 🤣
